Gov. Andrew Cuomo's State of the State commitment to provide full scholarships to top New York students who pursue a math or science career was an important step in the right direction for educator Jose Maliekal.

"I applaud the governor for recognizing that at this time we have fewer and fewer talented students pursuing STEM degrees," said Maliekal, who is dean of the School of Science and Mathematics at The College at Brockport.
